They may not be the only ones. LG said on its Facebook page: "We are also continuing to evaluate the ICS OS to determine whether it is compatible with the functionality, features and performance of other LG smartphones to make the ICS OS available on as many LG smartphones as possible."

Whichever handsets get the fresh firmware, LG isn't saying for the moment when they will get it.

However, it promised to post its upgrade schedule next month. Carrier-specific versions of the software may take longer to arrive. ®
